  Miguel,

  Can you please show me a picture of the results after you make the changes like you said (window 8-23) and avoiding reopening intraday day in the same direction?

  Attached the results from my backtest from february 2010. Still an amazing factor of 3,77.

  Thanks.

  Regards,

  Patrick

  Hi Reiner,

  Any plans of converting your great code to the volatile Hang Seng index?

  Best regards,

  David

  however, it would be advisable not to waste energy and time on many indexes, better to focus on a few and improve them.

  Hola Fr7,

  Fr7 asked for a S&P version in 1H timeframe.

  Pathfinder framework will work more or less on every index. Some work better and others are less suitable. Requirement for a suitable index is volatility. I have tested a S&P Pathfinder version but the results were positiv not comparable to DAX or FTSE due less S&P volatility.

  Pathfinder is working in the moment only for 4H. I didn’t test other timeframes so far, may be later. In the moment I want focus only on H4.

  David, Hang Seng and Nikkei are on my watchlist. In the moment I’m working on commodities and I’ m very keen to have something for oil, gold and silver.

  Hi everyone here, I’d like to join in to help Reiner improve his strategy like many others, but I do not have enough time unfortunately actually. But it seems very interesting and I hope everyone here appreciate the spirit of sharing and caring of Reiner 🙂

  Well done guys, go on like this, automated trading is a long and rough journey, but hopefully great at the end!

  Hi all,

  I’ve been following the PathFinder project for some time, and it seems promising. I’ve been running v2 live since a few months and it has been good so far but want to get over to v4 preferably.

  But now I have an issue I can’t really figure out. Right now on my live account with v4 it has taken a long position. But running the same code (exactly,  copied it from the live system), the backtest does not take this position.  I have not previously seen any differences between live/backtest with PathFinder, but I have mostly been running v2.

  In the attached image, to the left is the live system, to the right is the backtest of v2, v3 and v4. I’ve tried changing the start date of the v4 backtest to be the same as the live system as this should be the only thing that would be different, but it does not seem to matter either.

  The code running in v4 is the same standard DAX v4 as earlier in this thread, with only some modifications to the PositionSize.

  I can’t really figure out that there could be anything that could cause this? Can anyone else see the same thing or find an explanation? (I might surely be missing something..)

  Falmskarm, PRT needs one additional candle to synchronize real trade events. The long entry was on 1700 so backtest will be synchron at 2100

  Thanks Reiner, a bit too eager it seems 🙂 I checked it and it’s just as you say.. The thought crossed my mind but I could not understand why it would need that logically. I mostly work with shorter timeframes except with PathFinder so I haven’t really noticed. Great job with PathFinder!
